Exceptionally High Millennial Engagement on Eve of Mexican Election

Political scientists have tracked high levels of disengagement among young people globally over the last number of years. On a range of political, social, and economic issues, including issues as critical as Brexit, large shares of Millennials globally have told us they just don’t care. RIWI has also found significant levels of disengagement globally among citizens in older age cohorts.

However, as Mexico heads into a national election this weekend, RIWI continuous survey data show that the country is bucking this worldwide trend in a startling manner. RIWI data on almost 4,000 randomly engaged Mexicans during the week leading up to the election shows a stunning level of engagement for Mexican Millennials – and in fact for all age groups in Mexico.
